For a richer flavor, consider using a dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, in place of some of the clam juice. Add it to the saucepan after the garlic and let it reduce slightly before adding the clams. Fresh clams can be used in place of canned, if desired. Steam them open, reserving the clam broth, and chop the meat before adding to the sauce. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat to the dish. Always taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
